  1. I'm sorry, i can see your point, but doing your sequel with characters saying "there's no originality anymore, everyone wants sequels, blah blah blah" doesn't exclude your film from, well, just doing that. If Lana didn't want to do the film, which it seems that way, she shouldn't have done it. That's a statement i could really buy.
  2. Agree on everything. I'm also a huge Matrix fan, and i love Reloaded too. Revolutions was always the weakest link. This crap makes Revolutions look as a masterpiece. 4/10
  3. Smaller drop and more money than TLJ (-58%, 22m). This is good.
  4. I also think that Star Wars needs to be compared with Star Wars, so that's why i wrote this: "Star Wars trilogies had a consistency, first one being the biggest, the second the lowest and the third one in the middle. Even their percentages are amazingly similar: A New Hope: 307 (counting first release only, of course) ESB: 209 (68% of ANH) RotJ: 254 (82% of ANH) TPM: 431 AotC: 302 (70% of TPM) RotS: 380 (85%) Now, let's see this: TFA: 936 TLJ: 620 (66% of TFA) TRoS: to finish at 82% (what made RotJ) would need to make 768m, and to reach RotS would mean 796m, which we know is impossible now. " For me, to TRoS be at the same page with RotS, would be making 796m (or so). Cos you see the pattern, the third movie of the trilogy made 82 or 85% from the first of their trilogy. I don't care comparing it just by inflation, cos a lot has change from 2005 or 1983, not just ticket prices.
  5. I'm talking about the % compared with the first movie. That's the best comparison. How much of the first one, the third one made. Easy. In SW there's a good pattern of that, both trilogies did that almost exactly the same.
  6. Yes. Everything is because of TLJ. People got mad, because of TLJ. The story of TRoS is face pace and convoluted, because of TLJ. Luke doesn't shine, because of TLJ. We have a villain back from the dead out of nowhere, because of TLJ. Fuck that movie.
  7. Look, i know what you mean, but the first two Star Wars trilogies had a consistency, first one being the biggest, the second the lowest and the third one in the middle. Even their percentages are amazingly similar: A New Hope: 307 (counting first release only, of course) ESB: 209 (68% of ANH) RotJ: 254 (82% of ANH) TPM: 431 AotC: 302 (70% of TPM) RotS: 380 (85%) Now, let's see this: TFA: 936 TLJ: 620 (66% of TFA) TRoS: to finish at 82% (what made RotJ) would need to make 768m, and to reach RotS would mean 796m, which we know is impossible now. So, this is just bad, and 99% of this is due to The Last Jedi.
  8. Well, this is for those who still claimed that only a small group of "toxic" people didn't like TLJ. As if Solo wasn't enough, here's reality catching up with you.
  9. Agreed. Rogue One is the best film since Disney took over. I forgot to mention that i dislike the last scene very much. "I'm Rey Skywalker". Jesus. As i was watching the film, i kept thinking, "this is called The Rise of Skywalker so Luke will have his deserved justice or some Skywalker will have its golden moment, something...." Nah, is just Rey taking the name. Infuriating.
  10. The movie itself isn't good. Is better than TLJ, but that isn't good measure by my standards. Too convoluted, too fast pace when it didn't need it to. But i think that's what happens when you don't make an arc for the trilogy, and give that freedom to (originally) 3 different directors, and they fuck each others up. You ended up with 2 set up movies, no middle act, and a final movie that has to tie everything. MODERATION: This post has been edited to remove personal attacks
  11. Yes, it has its problems, but what can i say, i love the Star Wars Universe more than anything in film....
  12. I really need to see it again asap, cos since the moment i finished watching the film on Thursday, i can't think of anything else. I keep replaying scenes in my head over and over. I think this movie is very unique to the Universe, but i still can't rank it among the other films. Also, i realize i can rate this movie four different ways, regarding if i see it as: 1) Just a film. If i haven't seen any SW film in my life, and just saw this one, i would give it an 8. Very entertaining, awesome cinematography, acting, etc. etc. 8/10 2) A sequel to TFA: this way i wouldn't like it that much. I would think that lots of questions remains to be answered, i would have expected a lot more screen time for Rey, but still would rate it good, a solid 7/10 3) Part of a Whole Saga/Universe: this is tricky, cos even considering some disappointments and some missed opportunities I think this movie, seen from a distant future, would be very appreciated. We'll watch it as just another chapter, but a different one. And in that regards, it gives the saga a lot of depth and gravitas. 9/10 4) The Last Chance: If by any mean, this would be the last chance i have to see a new Star Wars, if this would be the last chance a have to see something related to the Skywalker dynasty, i would dislike this movie so much. I would give a generous 4/10 So i need to see this again soon, or my brain will fry.
  13. I've mixed my rating system from 1 to 10 and 5 stars.... LOL
  14. Oh shit, thanks for pointing my stupidity.... yes, you are right! i will correct my message right now!
  15. I really like the movie in so many ways and i not giving it a 5/5 just because one story line that goes too long for my taste. The film gave me something i wasn't expecting: the feeling of surprise. As a long time die hard fan of the saga who saw Star Wars in theaters in 1977 5 times, i just love the emotion and the feeling of uncertainty this chapter brings to the saga. 4.5/5
  16. I refuse to believe The Revenant is going to win Best Picture. Please, if there are is a God out there, do something. The movie is not even in my Top 40 of the Year. Leo deserves the Oscar for his performance, i really hope he win this time, and I would have nothing to say if they want to give Iñarritu the Oscar for best directing. But the plot and script of the movie is lame... a basic revenge movie... the movie drags for too long....if if wasn't for Leo, the Indian ambush at the beginning (impressive), and the bear scene (awesome), the movie would suck so much ass.
  17. Just for the sake of it, every year i "give" my own Awards, and since 2009 i've been uploading it to a blog. Every year i post my Nomination one day before the Oscars, and then i post my Winners, again, one day before they do it. I just wanted to share it with you guys! My Awards :)
  18. Amen to EVERY word, Baumer!! This is films and Box Office history in the making, and still, there are some people out there complaining about shit. Let them shit, who cares...!
  19. This is the best fucking movie of 2014 so far. Edit: i'm talking about Days of Future Past, just in case.
